COLLINGWOOD superstar Nick Daicos showed no signs of being slowed down by an off-season foot injury, putting any ill effects behind him to dominate in an AAMI Community Series slogging over Richmond.

Daicos, who saw his summer preparations delayed by plantar fasciitis, was at his scintillating best as the Pies ran up a cricket score against a rebuilding Tigers outfit to win 21.6 (132) to 6.13 (49) at Ikon Park on Wednesday night.

The prolific spearhead racked up 32 disposals, eight tackles, six clearances, 11 score involvements and four goal assists while playing in just over a half, giving fans a tantalising taste of his next evolution at AFL level.

Despite the lofty numbers, Daicos came to the bench midway through the third quarter and immediately took his boots off, signalling the end of his night and another ticked box ahead of an Opening Round clash with Greater Western Sydney in 11 days' time.

It was a night where all of Craig McRae's new Collingwood recruits delivered exactly what Pies fans would have wanted to see, with the club's key trio of newcomers all impacting and its positional changes paying dividends.

Dan Houston (22 disposals, seven marks) was classy in the backline and kicked a long-range bomb, Harry Perryman (20 disposals, one goal) played the whole game as a centre-bounce midfielder and looked accomplished in the role, while Tim Membrey (11 disposals, four goals) was a dangerous presence in attack.

Steele Sidebottom (22 disposals, one goal) played as a purely inside midfielder, starting the majority of centre bounces and proving very influential, while Josh Daicos (27 disposals, seven marks) provided plenty of run from half-back and also impacted on the scoreboard.

Collingwood also found potency from its forward line group as Brody Mihocek, Membrey, Bobby Hill, Dan McStay and Jamie Elliott combined for 16 of the side's 21 goals in a clinically efficient attacking display.

While the scoreboard didn't flatter Richmond, a baby-faced Tigers side still showed glimpses of promise amid the Collingwood onslaught. In fact, to half-time, Adem Yze's side had more inside 50s and the same amount of scoring shots, yet trailed by 45 points.

As expected, it was otherwise the club's experienced players that did prove the best contributors with Jacob Hopper (31 disposals, one goal), Kamdyn McIntosh (30 disposals, one goal) and Jayden Short (25 disposals, six marks) all among the side's big ball-winners.

New faces
Collingwood saw exactly what its three prized recruits could do. Harry Perryman looked at home in an inside midfield role, Dan Houston was classy and prolific behind the ball, while Tim Membrey added some potency inside 50. Richmond gave four of its key-position recruits limited minutes. Harry Armstrong played the first half in attack while Luke Trainor, Liam Fawcett and Tom Sims all came on after half-time.
